Description
Lost my iPhone 12 Pro Max yesterday around 3pm. It's space gray, 6.7-inch screen, and lives in a clear case with a blue whale sticker on the back. There's a small dent on the bottom-right corner and a faint scratch along the left edge. I last had it near the Starbucks on Main Street in downtown Sarasota, in the Sarasota-Bradenton area, by the Selby Public Library; I really need it back because it has photos of family and client notes, and it's how I stay connected. If you found it, message me so we can meet near the library or at the crosswalk by Main Street and Lemon Ave.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
